About 85#. Obviously not enough in my case. I noticed a little sluggishness on the last in-flight check and figured I'd replace it during my condition inspection this month. Oh well.... Naf Why do we continue to buy those unreliable gas springs? I used to have to replace that thing about once a year when I purchased them from Lancair, Kit Components. No more. I am on my 4th year with the one I have now. Replace it with one of those units from McMaster-Carr and the problem is solved for good, I hope. Bob Jude N65BJ
